Dan C Holloway arrangement.

Revisiting old ground again, but I was determined to get a single take on this one.

I always play this on the 000-18, it just suits the song. But, it's easier to play on the Taylor when the pressure is on - there are a couple of bits where the cutaway and longer scale length make life easier. So that's the way it ended up!

That was really nicely done, Mike! I could not imagine how this was going to sound as an instrumental piece since I know the Simon & Garfunkel piece so well as a piece to be sung, but you did a very good job of making this work very well!

Thank you for the comments.

And Glenn, I know how it’s going to sound if I sing it. I take some comfort that you don’t. [emoji6]
